Ran into this web site tikkun.org that has some very
sensible comments about the ongoing conflict.

In particular, I liked this article from Michael
Lerner. He makes a concrete set of proposals on how to
end the current escalation of violence, and it opens with:

The people of the Middle East are suffering again as
militarists on all sides, and cheerleading journalists, send
forth missiles, bombs and endless words of self-justification
for yet another pointless round of violence between Israel and
her neighbors. For those of us who care deeply about human
suffering, this most recent episode in irrationality evokes
tears of sadness, incredulity at the lack of empathy on all
sides, anger at how little anyone seems to have learned from
the past, and moments of despair as we once again see the
religious and democratic ideals subordinated to the cynical
realism of militarism.

Meanwhile, the partisans on each side, content to ignore the
humanity of "the Other," rush to assure their
constituencies that the enemy is always to blame. Each such
effort is pointless. We have a struggle that has been going on
for over a hundred years. Who tosses the latest match into the
tinder box matters little. What matters is how to repair the
situation. The blame game only succeeds in diverting attention
from that central issue.

(Emphasis added).

The same page also has a couple more of opinions (one by
Gideon Levy, which I recently discovered).
